Final install size doesn't bother me, gaming is headed that direction anyways. What is annoying are the massive patches that imo aren't worth it right now if you have bandwidth caps. I'm not bothering to log in until the art assets stop getting replaced and the Squadron 42 stuff starts being released in a year (or after the heat death of the universe).

I really haven't gotten into ED as much as I thought I would, do we have a Blues News group in game or anything?

When my launcher starts there is a brief moment where it only shows the stars like you describe, but then the news fields and store buttons appear and everything looks correct. Maybe your launcher needs to be reinstalled?

We don't have DST here in SK, we just watch the rest of the world go out of sync with us once a year. Used to be a pain remembering when to watch a show pre-interwebs. But hey, we get our own custom time zone in windows. We're special!

Still using 2.2.1 here as well. There's a few private trackers I use that won't even allow recent versions. When this gets too old I'll switch to qbitorrent, or whatever the best alternative is at the time. utorrent seems to have abandoned it's original promise.

It'd take a special kind of dumb to try and bill PC gamers for half-baked Xbox Live features a second time around, so this isn't surprising. I know it's Microsoft and all but.....never mind they probably would try it again.

It was only a matter of time until someone invoked Godwin's l....wait did you say Lenin? Well that's different.

10 out of 10. Tried the picture on both my desktop monitor in natural light and my phone in artificial light, looks identical.

Edit: This reminds me of when I was a kid and a buddy and I discovered a 3d stereogram image making program on a BBS. We made what I saw was a spike coming out of the screen. He saw a narrow pit going into the screen. It was as wtf then as it is now. Still neat though, I like this brain perception stuff.

And he created the most memorable alien in TV/Movie history. The world is richer for him having been in it.

I can't help but hear the funeral theme from Wrath of Khan right now. Sad day.

It looks absolutely white and gold while standing in a blue light here. The picture that makes it look more white looks like someone is fixing the influence of the blue light, everything else looks like a butchered photoshop or a different dress entirely. My brain just won't accept anything else. I can sorta understand how people are seeing blue but I don't get the black at all. Neat stuff.

I've tried to ignore this for months but it just won't die will it? Destiny, a game as close to gender neutral as you can get (without removing human characters entirely), still fails the test because of a sitting animation. Christ. It seems like this won't go away until characters are all genderless blobs.

If you don't like the product the market is making then make a competing product. If the market wants it the market will move towards it. I can't think of nice things to say otherwise so I'll stop here.

“The FCC’s decision to grant the petitions of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Wilson, North Carolina is a troubling power grab,”

Was going to post the same response below but someone beat me to it:"It's like watching a 6th grade bully telling a high school kid to go pick on someone his own size, when the high school kid interrupts the 6th grader from beating up a 3rd grader."

Preloaded last night, will give it a try when I get home. Never played the original before but the rave reviews of the original from people here sold me on it. Looks like I'll be popping my homeworld cherry tonight.

And while everyone and sundry keeps going "Who the hell buys a card based on # of ROP?" that's beside the point. If you say your card has 64 ROP, it needs to have 64 ROP, not 56. If you say your card has 2MB of L2 cache, it needs to have 2MB of L2 cache, not 1.75.

Oh I don't disagree, in the end however it was done they screwed up and should do something about it. I'm just trying to argue against the notion of a guy sitting up at Nvidia HQ stroking his old-timey villain mustache while cackling at the people who fell for their nefarious plot to sell cards with .5GB of slow Ram. I have yet to decide if this villain sounds like Skeletor or Dr Claw.
